With virtual VayCay You Can Go On a Virtual Vacation

itzbig (http://www.itzbig.com ) has introduced a new application, in a bid to help Quiet Working Professionals (QWP) embrace their dreams and aspirations, that encourages Facebook users to send their friends on a virtual vacation, called virtual VayCay.

An industry leader in job-matching technology, itzbig, created and embraced the application as a tool to reach QWPs, or those individuals who are currently employed in unfulfilling positions. itzbig believes these individuals may be highly qualified, but because of concerns over privacy and the lack of immediate feedback are reluctant to pursue other career opportunities.

Denise Court, itzbig VP of Marketing, said: “Just like virtual VayCay, itzbig encourages QWPs to dream big”. “There are fantastic employment opportunities on the itzbig network. We give QWPs the ability to create anonymous profiles based upon their skills and desires. They then see in real time how they score against these opportunities. These are critical differentiators in the employment industry, and a big reason that we have attracted job postings from the likes of eBay, Yahoo! and Intuit.”

The fact that users earn miles by sending their friends on vacations is one of the benefits of virtual VayCay. When their friends actually accept their vacation invitations, they receive even more miles. Everyone who adds the application can compete to win real airlines vouchers. On May 31 itzbig will give away the first award–a $1,500 gift certificate from American Airlines.

The application can be downloaded by Facebook users at: http://apps.facebook.com/virtual_vaycay/ .

itzbig, besides the indirect tie-in, also offers a “Need more than a Vacation?” tab in the application that allows users to search a position category and see available jobs on the itzbig network.

Court added: “While we offer a technology that resolves two of the most pressing concerns–privacy and immediate feedback–of the QWP, it is also important for itzbig to continue to think outside the box and embrace creative ways to establish a connection with these individuals”.
